So how is that different to Sky? No one can do anything about Sky's exclusives either. If people do mind about Netflix/Amazon et al, why not complain about them as well? There is no difference between either company.

I fail to see why Sky are the only "bad guys" here.

However ofcom is spineless and toothless and sadly governments are in bed with murdoch.
But Sky make some original programmes as well. They have also stated they will put money into more, original home made programmes. I understand Fortitude is made by Sky, so I take it you won't be upset by not being able to watch that on VM.

Also, as pointed out earlier, Netflix and Amazon buy exclusive content too.

As you clearly state, you have a computer. You can watch NowTV on it as well, which has Atlantic content too. Why not just pay for NowTV instead of Netflix or Amazon?
